425 Dark Horse (1)

"Van Bommel, pass the ball...Robben, Robben got the ball. Revier left too much space after assisting, and there was no defensive player in front of Robben."

"Robben, pass the ball!"

"Van Bommel, shoot!"

"goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

"Two to zero, two to zero. Van Bommel's long shot helped PSV expand its lead. PSV led Lyon 2 to 0 at their home court. PSV performed very well. They

We broke out in the group stage and now lead Lyon 2-0. PSV haven't performed so well in the Champions League for a long time."

"In this game, Revier had absolutely no way to contain the young player Robben. After the start of the first half, PSV used Robben's side to keep attacking Revier Lyon.

The right wing was completely manipulated by Robben, who was applauded. Robben, the best rookie in the Netherlands in 2003 and the second-placed genius player in the Golden Boy Award, still performed well in the Champions League."

Seeing Van Bommel's goal, Riester applauded from above. The passage of time can never be stopped, and soon it was the end of February 2004. The Champions League was rekindled.

This is a dark horse season. It should be said that after entering the 21st century, this is the first time such a large-scale dark horse legend has appeared in European football. Of course, this is also the last dark horse season. From this season on, dark horses have basically completely dominated Europe.

Football is extinct. List is now watching PSV games in the Netherlands.

Eindhoven is divided into Group C. In this group there are three teams: Deportivo La Coruna, Monaco, and Aek Athens. In history, this group has been represented by Deportivo La Coruna and Monaco. But this time it is different.

.

Without Giuly, Monaco's offensive strength has dropped significantly. Giuly is definitely the most important link in Monaco, but without this link, the strength has changed a lot. He was double-killed by PSV Eindhoven at home and away, and was also beaten by Deportivo.

Luña was defeated in an away game. Of course, Monaco also had its peak moment, humiliating Deportivo La Coruña when they challenged Deportivo La Coruña away from home.

However, because they lost a lot of games, they were eliminated in the group stage. In this group, PSV emerged in first place and Deportivo in second place. Historically, they have reached the Champions League.

In the final, Monaco, which dominated the Champions League before it could shine its brightest light, was already killed in the group stage. Deschamps also did not achieve the peak results of his coaching career. On the contrary, they failed in the group stage.

.

There are reasons for Monaco's decline in strength. After all, they lack generals like Giuly. Also, PSV is much stronger than in history, with Robben, Van Bommel, Bouma, Drogba, and Dinata.

Players like Rai, Yaya Toure and Grigra finally eliminated Monaco.

"Harry, Van Bommel is really good."

Lister did not praise Robben because Robben's genius is recognized by European football. With Kenyon switching to Chelsea, the competition for Robben between Manchester United and Chelsea became more and more fierce. Manchester United relied on Ferguson's powerful

The appeal and the strong appeal of Manchester United. And Chelsea, with their abundant funds, plus Kenyon and Ranieri, personally came to convince Robben's father. Of course, there is also the personal relationship between Kenyon and PSV.

The relationship is very good.

When introducing Stam, Ruud van Nistelrooy and other PSV stars, Kenyon had very good contacts with the top management of PSV. In combination with these aspects, Chelsea gradually gained an advantage, and Robben's father also regretted his relationship with PSV.

Cooperation with Manchester United. In turn, he agreed to join Chelsea.

Therefore, a genius like Robben does not need to be praised by List. What List praised is Van Bommel. Eindhoven's Van Bommel is definitely the best Van Bommel, even better than when he was at Bayern later. He can retreat when defending.

, he can mobilize the offense with passing passes, and can also use his own long-range shots to break the opponent's goal. He can go up and down, and is the absolute core of PSV's midfield. At present, Yaya Toure is the player.

Van Bommel took action immediately.

"Our Eredivisie club just can't keep good players. If we can keep good players, no European club can be our opponent."

Van Hanyi was very angry. The biggest impact of the Bosman Act was on Eredivisie giants such as PSV and Ajax. Without the Bosman Act, the stars that Eindhoven and Ajax have cultivated in the past ten years would have been

It is impossible for Ajax to be so weak in the Champions League. If Ajax did not have the Bosman Act, then that group of talented players would be able to create an Ajax dynasty. The same Ajax dynasty that emerged from the late 1990s to the 21st century

Inhoven is also very strong. If there is no transfer and those players are retained, they will be able to achieve great results in the Champions League.

List smiled. PSV and Ajax hated the Bosman Act, but for agents like List, Bosman was a hero. Without the emergence of the Bosman Act, List would

Such predatory agents, no matter how many good players they have in their hands, are just vassals of the club. There is not much room for bargaining with the club.

Like Mascardi, he would be nothing without the Bosman Act. It was precisely because of the emergence of the Bosman Act that he was able to dominate Italian football and once became as famous an agent as Figel.

"Essien, Essien handed the ball to Carriere...Dorazo came to take over, Carriere, Carriere lost the ball."

Lyon has started their seventh consecutive championship. This season is Lyon's third consecutive championship in Ligue 1. Carriere is known as the "New Zidane" in Ligue 1. Of course, there are many such titles. Just like Argentina every year

There is a "Maradona successor" emerging, Brazil has a "Pele successor" emerging every year, and the same is true for France.

However, those who can get this title are players who are very strong or very talented. Carriere is such a player. His foot skills are better than Zidane. He was the Ligue 1 assists leader last season. But he is not

Zidane, he is not even a little bit worse than Zidane. When he was young, he was dropped from professional teams several times because his body was so poor. Even now, his body is still very poor, at best.

It's just that he can guarantee to play professional football.

He has always relied on his excellent skills and passing to gain a foothold. But just now Carriere took the ball and wanted to pretend to pass it to Dorasso, and then when he wanted to break through, he was directly hit by Yaya Toure.

It fell. Yaya Toure saw that the referee had no comment, so he took the ball directly. The referee definitely did not want to blow the whistle, but because Carrier was too exaggerated.

With just a slight bump, Yaya Toure made no other moves, and Carriere flew out. In fact, Carriere really flew out, but in the eyes of the referee, it was just a fuss.

Carriere's body is definitely the worst in the professional league. As an African player, Yaya Toure is originally tall and strong, and his physical strength is very good. Facing Carriere, he accidentally bumped into him.

Of course, Aye flew out. Unfortunately, in the opinion of the referee, this was very inconsistent with the various collisions in professional games. So although Yaya Toure made some foul moves, Carrier fell to the ground in an exaggerated manner, which made the referee

The penalty for Yaya Toure's grabbing of the ball is valid.

"Yaya Toure, he is very fast."

Yaya Toure's absolute speed is not fast, but his sudden running with the ball is quite good. It is because Yaya Toure is tall and has long legs, and he strides forward when running, and few people can guard him.

This time was no exception. In just a few steps, he was already in Lyon's half.

"Essien, Essien is coming up. Essien's running range is very wide. Although Van Bommel, Park Ji-sung, and Yaya Toure took turns to come forward, there is not much that can be done in front of Essien. It is a pity that Lyon's midfielder

Essien is the only one defending. Yaya Toure, pass the ball!"

Essien has a good body, good stamina, and strong defensive ability, so Lyon's defense covers a large area. Hiddink therefore avoids the center and mostly plays on the two wings during the game. Although Essien is strong, Lyon's center

There are not many defensive players on the field. Including Dorasso, Carriere, and Juninho, their defensive abilities are not strong, so Essien can only protect the center by himself.

Yaya Toure is still young, so his tactical execution ability is still good. Although Yaya Toure is a wild football player, he has been to Europe for formal training since he was 14 or 15 years old, so his tactics are not as good as those in Africa.

The players were so unorganized. Hiddink emphasized several times not to break through in the middle, so Yaya Toure passed the ball directly when Essien came over.

"Di Natale got the ball. Kakapa came up and Di Natale had good speed. Di Natale broke through Kakapa."

Di Natale has performed better and better in the past few years at Eindhoven, especially his skills and passing skills, which are very suitable for the Eredivisie. Di Natale did the same after taking the ball this time, easily getting rid of the jam.

Kappa.

"Di Natale, shoot, this is a fake shot and a real pass!"

"Drogba, shoot!"

"goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Di Natale easily broke through Kakapa, leaving Muller to come over and fill in the position. Unfortunately, by filling in like this, he missed another point of PSV. That was the powerful Drogba. Di Natale's

The pass was perfect, and Drogba scored the third goal of the game with a direct sweep.

"Three to zero. After the Ajax youth team shocked European football last season, PSV Eindhoven performed well this season and is basically guaranteed to enter the quarterfinals."

Lyon was destroyed, Monaco was destroyed. Leicester was very happy, because as they were destroyed, PSV emerged. Although Eindhoven is an Eredivisie giant, it was like Ajax entering the Champions League last season.

Just as the quarter-finals shocked the European football world, PSV's entry into the Champions League quarter-finals is also a dark horse. After all, the current Eredivisie is completely different from what it was ten years ago.

The first dark horse of the Champions League this season is about to be born.
